Hi, my name is Caillin, and I love getting new things. But the problem is everything costs money. Then I thought of a money tree. As you probably know, trees last a long time. So for a long time you can have tons of money. So now that I am going to have lots of money, I am going to be getting a lot of new things. Problem solving is interesting.

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

There are three types of catapults. But all of them have something in common. A catapult was used as a mechanism used to forcefully throws stones, spears, and many other objects. The first type of catapult there is a just called a catapult. The second type of catapult is called a trebuchet. And the last type of catapult is called a ballista. These types of catapults were used in the medieval times so of course no one uses them anymore. And that is what a catapult is.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?
PRESENTATION:
How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
